Carmel Runners Club believes in stepping up beyond the trail to make meaningful contributions to our community. Our commitment extends far beyond fostering a love for running and walking; it’s about creating lasting, positive change in Hamilton County and beyond. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
College Scholarship
Education is a journey that parallels the perseverance and dedication found in running. Each year, CRC awards scholarships to deserving Hamilton County high school seniors who have demonstrated how running has positively impacted their lives. Having contributed over $30,000 to date, we take pride in our ongoing support to the community via this scholarship initiative. This scholarship aims to support their academic pursuits and celebrate the transformative power of running.
Event Sponsorship
Kids Coats – RibFest 5k Fun Run
CRC proudly sponsors and contributes to the Kids Coats organization, ensuring that every child stays warm through the winter. Our involvement peaks at the annual RibFest event, where community, delicious food, and the spirit of giving come together to support this vital cause.

WoofStock 5k
Animals hold a special place in our hearts, and CRC is thrilled to sponsor the Woofstock 5K. This event is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of our furry friends and a crucial fundraiser for the Hamilton County Humane Society, supporting their mission to care for and find homes for animals in need.

Monon Trail Sponsor
The Monon Trail is not just a path for our runs; it’s a community treasure that we are committed to preserving. CRC has adopted a section of the trail, dedicating time to keep it clean and monitoring for invasive species. Our efforts ensure that this beloved trail remains a safe and beautiful space for everyone to enjoy.
